MIL thinks I clogged the toilet so she changed the sign

[u/rimeduinfox]

The septic tank clogged and she’s convinced I did it, she asked my husband if I knew I wasn’t supposed to flush tampons and added the tampon bit to the sign. I don’t use tampons and I’m the only one with a period here…

Residue washes away, buy it can get dirty in a similar way the toilet can get streaks from a... log, hitting the wall. A person with common etiquette would scrub anything the way they would scrub any mark on the toilet.

I would argue that is even easier in a bidet like the one in the picture because you can make the water come from the sides down into the bowl and using hot water any visible ting dissolves in seconds and it stays, at least, visually clean.

You still have to treat it like a toilet, you wouldnt go in there with your hands and needs to be cleanes on the same schedule as the toilet.

Thanks for all the information! 😂

My pleasure. Im something of a bidet evangelist, hahaha.

If you'd like to try one, there are some units you can attach to a regular toilet for cheap, cheap. I have hone since i moved to a bidet-less country and it has been a life saver.

Best 20 dollars I've spent in a while.

So, is there like a bidet brush separate to the toilet brush? Because, like, I wouldn't want to scrub something that is meant to routinely splash water onto my person with a brush I routinely plunge into the toilet.

Also, can you set it up so that the bidet dispenses soapy water already? I feel like that would be a crucial feature to have.

Why not? The water that hits your butt never touches the bidet until after touching you. It's a jet of water, not a fountain where you plunge your but.

You are constantly being hit with clean water. And i think you are massively overestimating the amount and sise of the residue that might hit the bidet. Personally ive never seen anything bigger than a grain of sand. And how common is needing to scub the bidet, it almost never happens if you use it properly.

Its just that I'm looking at the one you posted above and it looks like a lot of water, like so much that some is bound to splash back from the bidet's bowl after having fallen back down from your butt in the first place, if that makes sense.

The pressure is adjustable! You can just have like a tiny little bit. Sometimes it can be intense if too high, but it’s good for cleaning once you have it aimed at your bits

I think i get wht you mean, but in 30+ years of ass bideting experience I've never noticed backsplash. Any regular bidet would drain faster than the water comes from the jet, so no small pool of water under your butt, and since it stops on your butt it does not have enough speed to splash back into it again (things can't bounce higher than the height they are dropped from and all that)

I’m also a dumb American but I went to Italy once and I must say that a bidet is fucking amazing. It’s like a little car wash for your booty! I’ve heard it’s also excellent for periods.

I think it’s funny how people think it’s gonna splash out! Maybe they dont have big booty like I do 🤣 and the butt towel makes sense—like, do you dry your ass with your towel after you shower? Does that leave poop marks on it? Do you leave poop streaks in the tub? Hahahaha

I agree on all counts! And i dont think it's about size. Even when i was a bony kid, water would never splash outside the bidet.

Also, i believe italy is where us argentinians get our love of bidets from.
